Overview

Elena Paoletti is affiliated with the National Research Council (CNR) in Italy. Their research spans multiple fields within environmental and biological sciences, focusing notably on plant science, atmospheric science, and health-related environmental impacts.

Their work covers a broad spectrum of topics, including:

  • Plant responses to elevated CO2
  • Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols
  • Air quality and health impacts
  • Plant water relations and carbon dynamics
  • Plant stress responses and tolerance
  • Climate change and health impacts
  • Air quality monitoring and forecasting

Paoletti has contributed extensively to publications in specialized scientific venues such as:

  • The Science of The Total Environment
  • Environmental Research
  • Environmental Pollution
  • Journal of Forestry Research
  • Atmospheric Environment

Frequent collaborators include several researchers with whom they have co-authored numerous works. These coauthors are:

  • Yasutomo Hoshika
  • Pierre Sicard
  • Alessandra De Marco
  • Bárbara Bâesso Moura
  • Zhaozhong Feng

Their recent published papers demonstrate a focus on urban and ozone-related environmental issues. Representative works include:

  • Amplified ozone pollution in cities during the COVID-19 lockdown, 2020, The Science of The Total Environment
  • Trends in urban air pollution over the last two decades: A global perspective, 2022, The Science of The Total Environment
  • Ozone affects plant, insect, and soil microbial communities: A threat to terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity, 2020, Science Advances
  • Urban population exposure to air pollution in Europe over the last decades, 2021, Environmental Sciences Europe
  • Ozone pollution threatens the production of major staple crops in East Asia, 2022, Nature Food

Their scientific output reflects a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the interactions between atmospheric pollutants, particularly ozone, and biological systems, as well as broader implications for public health and ecosystem sustainability.
